ODM Director of Communications, Philip Etale, has addressed speculations surrounding his potential candidacy for the Lugari parliamentary seat in the 2027 general elections.
During an interview with WKT at the Lugari NG-CDF Football Tournament finals, held at St. Paul’s Lugari Boys High School grounds on Tuesday, Etale remained elusive about his candidacy.
“It’s too early to confirm whether I’ll vie or not, as it’s only been a year since the previous election. We’ll address that bridge when we come to it.”
While acknowledging the incumbent, Nabii Nabwera, for his efforts in improving education standards and fostering talent through sports, Etale urged him to broaden his focus beyond education and treat all residents equally.
“I see his dedication to education, which is commendable. However, there are concerns about neglect in other wards. I encourage him to address those and explore additional developmental areas,” Etale remarked.
